BOCA RATON, Fla. – Members of the Boca Raton Synagogue remain on edge as a longtime member of their congregation was named in a sex abuse lawsuit.
19 former students of the Yeshiva University school in New York City claim they were repeatedly abused by two rabbis and a youth volunteer in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
“He’s a good person, he does good things in the community, but you never know,” said Boca Raton Synagogue member Eyal Cohen.
The lawsuit alleges Richard Andron molested high school students while working as a volunteer at the school in Manhattan.
Andron briefly spoke with NewsChannel 5 off-camera at his Boca Raton home Monday about the allegations. He said he was cooperating with the investigation but had no other comment.
